Random post, I appreciate. We have an Uppababy Vista, which we love. Our DD sleeps in the carrycot in the day, and I wheel her around whereever I am in the house. DD is only 8 weeks, but huge, top 91st percentile, and very long. There is only three inches left in carrycot (I just measured), and she is growing like a weed. I understand I?m not meant to use the pushchair, till she is 6 months old, but I don?t see the carrycot lasting her past four months (if we?re lucky).
I have a solution of sorts. When we were pushchair shopping, I was very taken with the Baby Jogger Summit. However, we were not in the market for two pushchairs, and Uppababy was a better all-purpose pushchair. We have an outdoorsy lifestyle, and I thought I?d use the sling for walks. However, despite my intentions, I cannot get used to baby wearing and DD prefers pushchair.
I?d like to buy Baby Jogger Summit for daytime sleeping, and off-road walks. Is two pushchairs extravagant? Can I justify it? Should I just put her in cot in day, and use sling for walks? The Summit can be used from birth, so do not need carrycot. I thought I?d get a footmuff to go with the Summit, to make it nice and cosy.
I have not told DH my intentions yet. I think he?d agree, if I can find an offer for a new Summit or a second hand Summit. The cheapest I can find online is £275.
Wise mumsnetters, what are your thoughts?
